Emperor Heaven's organization had risen to prominence in the Great Ruins Boundary and was founded by Ding Yi himself. Over the past few years, many people had gathered under his command. The Unaging Land repelled the Open Heaven Stage and only the Emperor Realm masters could enter this place. Emperor Heaven had a great advantage because all of them were Emperor Realm.
In the colorful passage, Ding Yi had led Emperor Realm and the others to block the path, causing a great deal of chaos and countless casualties.
However, he had suffered a loss at Yang Kai’s hands many years ago and had nearly lost his life. Since then, he had been extremely wary of Yang Kai, so he had always given him face. Whether it was on Yuan Magnetic Mountain or in the colorful passage, he had always treated him kindly.
Ding Yi also had scars on his body, so it was likely that his journey had not been peaceful.
There were less than a thousand people at the foot of this mountain, but Emperor Heaven had sent two or three thousand at once, almost two or three times the number of people here, so who wouldn’t be afraid? Such a huge force could completely change the situation here.
In the blink of an eye, Emperor Heaven's group had arrived at the foot of the mountain. Ding Yi carried his ghost-headed blade and looked around disdainfully. Suddenly, his eyes focused on a certain someone and he angrily shouted, “I’ve really traveled far and wide to find this little thief. You dared to snatch my Holy Medicine, now that I’ve caught you, let’s see if you’ll die!”
The giant blade pointed forward towards the short man who had obtained the gourd vine.
The short man frowned slightly, obviously feeling that this situation was a bit tricky. If Ding Yi was alone, he naturally wouldn’t be afraid. The might of the Gourd Vine was extraordinary, not to mention one Ding Yi, even if there were ten or a hundred of them, they would still be nothing. However, Emperor Heaven had too many people, if they really fought, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Pondering for a moment, the short man said, “Ding Yi, the Holy Medicine is extraordinary. If it chooses me, it means it has fate with me. Why must you force it?”
“Fated your ass!” Ding Yi fumed, “If it weren’t for your interference, this Holy Medicine would have long been mine. You despicable bastard, you stole my Holy Medicine in the dark and now you have the face to say such things?”
The short man coldly snorted, “You keep saying that this is your Holy Medicine, just call it and see if it agrees with you!”
Ding Yi said angrily, “You call me Grandfather, let’s see if I respond!”
The quarrel between these two attracted the attention of countless people, causing Yang Kai to reveal a look of enlightenment.
Previously, under the guidance of Pu Baixiong and Little Mushroom, he had been searching for the Gourd Vine, but who would have thought that someone would beat him to it? From the traces left behind, it was clear that it was a great battle, and it was a large number of people.
From the looks of it now, it should have been Ding Yi leading Emperor Heaven's people who had fought with the gourd vine, but at the critical moment, the short man had taken the fruit of labors.
Anyone who encountered such a situation would likely have a bellyful of anger and would definitely not give up.
Ding Yi had led his group to this place and probably had not expected to encounter this little thief who snatched the Holy Medicine, but now that they had encountered him, they naturally would not let him off easily.
“Now that this Holy Medicine has fallen into my hands, what do you plan to do?” Although the short man was facing thousands of people from Emperor Heaven alone, he didn’t show any fear.
Ding Yi grinned maliciously, “What else can I do? Naturally, I’ll kill you and snatch back the Holy medicine! In this life, no one can take advantage of me!”
Saying so, with a shake of his cloak, the thousands of people under his command immediately took action. Emperor Heaven had been established more than ten years ago when the Great Ruins Boundary was first established. Under the leadership of Ding Yi, Emperor Heaven's group had been active in various parts of the Great Ruins Boundary and had experienced countless battles of various sizes. Even the Beast Tide had been resisted several times. At this moment, the group leader didn’t need to say anything and they simply took up their respective positions. In an instant, thousands of people surrounded the short man.
The short man’s face became increasingly gloomy.
“Ding Yi, the Innate Fruit Tree is right in front of us. If we can obtain the Innate Spirit Fruit, wouldn’t we gain more benefits than a single Holy Medicine? Can we settle our grievances after we compete for the Spirit Fruit?” The short man suggested.
Ding Yi pointed his broadsword at him, “In front of an enemy, how could this old master care about the Spirit Fruit? Speak, do you want this old master to slash you to death, or do you want this old master to stab you to death!”
The short man shook his head and sighed, “It seems there’s no way to resolve this. Sigh, I didn’t want to kill you, but since you’ve taken the initiative to seek death, I’ll grant you your wish.”
Saying so, he stretched out his hand and shook the gourd vine.
The seven small gourds hanging from the gourd vines rolled down and instantly transformed into small humans. Each of these small humans wore a green leaf short-sleeved shirt, had bare feet, and had a different color on their heads.
A gourd raised its hand and declared, “I am the First Child!”
The other gourd squatted down and called out, “I am the Second Child!”
Another gourd came over and cupped its hands together, acting like a monkey gazing at the sea, “I am Third Child!”
The fourth gourd crossed its arms and declared, “I am the Fourth Child!”
With two swooshes, the two gourds flew over the shoulders of these four gourds and stood on one leg.
“I am Fifth Child!”
“I am Sixth Child!”
The last gourd tumbled through the air and stood atop all the other gourds, its hands on its waist as it laughed, “I am Seventh Child!”
The Gourd Brothers shouted in unison, “We are the Seven Gourd Brothers!”
Yang Kai was dumbfounded while Xu Zhen’s mouth twitched, “This Holy Medicine… is quite interesting.”
Pu Baixiong sneered, “Acting mysterious!”
On the other hand, Little Mushroom’s eyes were filled with stars as she clenched her fists and shouted, “Gourd Brothers, be careful!”
The seven gourds turned to Little Mushroom and grinned.
Ding Yi’s face became gloomy as he pointed his blade, “Kill this little thief, don’t hurt the gourd!”
In the blink of an eye, a barrage of attacks flew towards the short man.
The gourds immediately rolled around as the first brother rushed forward and shouted, “Watch my Unbreakable Golden Body!”
Golden light flashed and a golden light curtain appeared, instantly enveloping a radius of ten meters. The countless attacks that struck the light curtain were mostly negated by it.
Yang Kai’s expression changed, “Fifth Grade Golden Element!”
This first brother's power was actually a Fifth Grade Gold Element! This Gold Element power transformed into a defensive barrier that was as solid as metal.
Although there were many people in Emperor Heaven's group, there weren’t many who could condense a Fifth Grade force. When a force below the Fifth Grade struck this light curtain, it only caused ripples to appear.
Only a Fifth Grade force attack could cause a substantial impact to the light curtain.
However, there were simply too many of these attacks, so the Gold Element Force’s protective barrier was unable to resist them, only able to resist for a short moment before shattering.
However, in this instant, the short man had managed to survive.
The other six gourds each activated their own power, forming layers of protection around the short man.
After these seven layers of protection were broken, all of the attacks had disappeared.
The short man coldly snorted and the gourd vine in his hand suddenly shook as he shouted, “Go!”
The third and fourth brothers immediately rushed towards the crowd, each of them taking a deep breath in mid-air before opening their mouths and spitting.
The third brother spat out extremely pure Water Element energy while the fourth brother spat out flames.
As the water and fire merged, a massive shockwave erupted from the crowd.
Screams rang out as the hundred cultivators in Emperor Heaven suffered varying degrees of damage and fell from the sky like dumplings.
At the same time, the gourd vine in the short man’s hand shook again, and the Sixth and Seventh Brothers transformed into two Yin-Yang long arcs that crossed each other. Looking around, it was like a giant pair of scissors cutting through Emperor Heaven's group.
Chi chi chi…
The sound of blood spurting out rang out as dozens of cultivators were cut in half, their organs exposed to the air as they fell uncontrollably. Some of them were in mid-air, frantically stuffing their intestines back into their stomachs, but they were unable to regain their vitality.
All the cultivators who saw this scene were shocked.
Yang Kai’s expression also became serious.
He hadn’t expected this bottle gourd to be so powerful. Seven gourds corresponded to the power of the Yin-Yang Five Elements, each of which was at the Fifth Grade, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to resist.
In just one exchange, Emperor Heaven had suffered a great loss, losing more than two hundred people.
No wonder this short man was able to remain calm even though he was surrounded by Emperor Heaven.
“Incredible!” Xu Zhen praised, his eyes shining as he stared at the gourd vine. Anyone who saw this thing would be envious.
However, although the Gourd Vines were powerful, Emperor Heaven still had a large number of people and had been through many battles. Although they had suffered a loss, they did not panic. Facing the Yin Yang Twin Scissors, thousands of people formed into more than a dozen battle formations, hundreds of people in a group, each of them closing in on the Yin Yang Twin Scissors.
The other hundreds of elites completely ignored the small gourds and rushed towards the short man.
There were three gourds left beside the short man that corresponded to the power of Gold, Wood, and Earth.
Seeing the enemy approaching, the short man’s expression remained unchanged as he once again shook the gourd vine.
The first brother immediately transformed into a golden light and rushed forward.
In front of the battle formation, a cultivator stretched out his hand and grabbed towards the first brother, chuckling, “Little Gourd dares to walk right into our trap?” When he saw this first brother display his Unbreakable Golden Body, he had thought that this Gourd was the main defensive force.
Ding Yi’s expression changed as he shouted, “Be careful!”
As soon as his voice fell, the first brother punched out.
With a loud bang, the leading cultivator was hit by a powerful force and was sent flying backwards uncontrollably, his arm exploding inch by inch as his bones shattered.
“Such strength,” Yang Kai sighed.
“Gold Element is a master of slaughter, this person is too careless,” Xu Zhen also shook his head and sighed.
After sending the man flying, the first brother suddenly spun around, his hands and feet transforming into an indestructible weapon that pierced through a battle formation in the blink of an eye.
Peng peng peng... The hundreds of cultivators who had set up this battle formation, with the exception of a few lucky ones, all of them suffered heavy injuries and blood splashed everywhere.
The first brother's figure didn’t stop as it transformed into a golden drill and rushed forward from behind.
Another battle formation came from the side and the leader shouted, “Release the Heavenly Net!”
A large net covered the sky and earth as it descended towards the first brother.
